Fugitive Winnipeg Murder Suspect Now Wanted for Second Homicide – Winnipeg | The Canadian News

A Winnipeg man who was already wanted by homicide investigators for one murder is now wanted for a second shooting death, police said.

Thunder Lightning Fontaine, 22, was previously wanted in the Dec. 9 shooting of Anthony Sinclair. A second suspect has been arrested in connection with the homicide, but Fontaine remains at large.

He is now the subject of a Canada-wide arrest warrant for the Nov. 24 shooting of Angus John Maple, 40, who was pronounced dead at hospital after being found by emergency services in a Mountain Avenue apartment.

Winnipeg police are reaching out to the public for information on the fugitive Fontaine, who is described as 5 feet 8 inches tall and between 170-180 pounds, with a slim build. He has a notable tattoo of a teardrop below his right eye and the letters “DNG” above it.

Fontaine is wanted on charges of first-degree murder in Maple’s case, second-degree murder in Sinclair’s death, as well as four counts of possession of a firearm, restricted weapon or ammunition contrary to a prohibition order.

Police warn the public not to go near Fontaine, but to call 911 if they see him. Any other information can be relayed by calling the homicide unit at 204-986-6508 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).
